> I spent a little bit of time last night hacking on the slab cache implementation to make it a little simpler. The change is:
> - no longer has the composition of SlabCache containing a SingleSizeCache per slab size. SlabCache holds its own slabs
> - no longer use guava's map implementations to handle a size-bounded cache. Instead, manages its own LRU linked list
> - significantly less clever about synchronization. since this is an L2 cache, it should be less contended than the L1 cache, and I think we can afford to be dumb.
> - should have less memory usage since there's only one map entry per key instead of several.
